Plug connector and plug connector assembly

A plug connector configured for electrically conductively connecting an electric cable attached thereto to a mating plug, comprising:

• at least one electrically conductive contact;
• an insulating inner housing which has a fastening section for fastening the contact;
• a conductive outer housing which has a fastening section for fastening the inner housing;
• wherein the plug connector furthermore comprises a first shielding element, electrically connected to the conductive outer housing, configured for penetrating an insulating outer layer of a cable connected by the plug connector to establish an electrical contact with the electromagnetic shielding layer in the insulating outer layer of the cable in order to provide a further electromagnetic shielding function for the cable, and
• wherein the plug connector comprises a second shielding element, accommodated in the conductive outer housing, configured for electrical contact with the conductive outer housing of the plug connector and the conductive outer housing of a mating plug connected to the plug connector in order to provide a further electromagnetic shielding function for the cable.
